Overview

Agent Development Kit (ADK) is Google's open-source, code-first framework for building, evaluating and deploying AI agents and multi-agent systems. It is available across Python, TypeScript, Go, Java and Kotlin, with a graph-based workflow runtime and an agent-to-agent task API. While optimised for Gemini and Vertex AI, ADK is designed to be model-agnostic.

RECATOOLS Verdict

ADK is Google's serious bid in the agent-framework arena, and its multi-language coverage (Python, Java, Go, TypeScript, Kotlin) is broader than most rivals. The code-first design and graph-based runtime suit engineering teams who want explicit control over agent flows.

It shines most when paired with Gemini and Vertex AI, though it remains usable with other models. Backed by Google with active releases, it is a low-risk choice for enterprises already on Google Cloud.
